Dressers and Cabinets


The Traditional Oak Dresser has always played a key role within many period dining rooms. The term 'dressers' appeared frequently in medieval inventories and seems to have referred to some form of side-table on which food was 'dressed' before serving.

The Dining Room is one of the great convivial gathering places. The scene of quiet companionable lunches, family get-togethers, elegant dining or everyday mealtimes, it is a stage set for eating.

Tables

The traditional oak dining table has been the centre of the home for several centuries as the place for dining, entertaining and working. It is arguably the social centre of the home. The function of the oak table has changed little over time and many tables that have lasted over the centuries are made from oak.

LEG OPTIONS - Every piece of furniture, whether a simple joined stool or an ornately carved four poster bed, is individually hand made by skilled craftsmen. Tables can be individualised by making your own selection from one of the leg styles as shown here. The addition of hand carved rails adds to the uniqueness of each piece.

CARVING OPTIONS - There are carving options available to you on the top rail for both Refectory and Trestle tables. Commissions are also welcome.

Occasional Furniture

The great age of Occasional Oak Furniture dates from the 1750s. Society was stable with firm economic growth and this produced a rapidly growing class of nouveau riche artisans and professionals all requiring the trappings of an earlier and grander age but condensed into smaller houses.

Much of the oak furniture designed for smaller scale living comes under the heading of occasional oak furniture. Usually this oak furniture is used for a particular occasion and then pushed out of the way against the wall.

Study Furniture

Everyone needs a time and place to pursue their own interests. Over the years a great many people have needed a corner of the home which was truly their own space. It was a room to study, read or write amongst treasured possessions. Nowadays , as more and more people are based at home, the study has taken on a new meaning. It has become a place where one might work and oak study furniture creates an atmosphere far removed from that of the clinical modern office environment.

The traditional study was a room in which to engage in learning through reading. Oak Bookcases filled with literature give a sense of history and the oak desk takes place as the focal point of the room.

Bedroom Furniture

From Medieval times to the 19th Century the bed, essentially a practical piece of oak bedroom furniture, became the symbol of a household's wealth. The familiar oak four poster bed of Elizabethan times consisted of the oak bed frame itself, the oak bedhead, the canopy or tester and two columns, also usually made of oak.

With it's oak bedhead panelled and embellished with richly carved inlays and with bulbous columns. This was one of the most treasured pieces of oak bedroom furniture in the household, bequeathed from heir to heir.
